History of the Haiti national team

Founding and Early Years

The Haiti national team, nicknamed "the Grenadiers," is governed by the Haitian Football Federation (FHF), founded in 1904. They pulled off a shock at their very first World Cup appearance in 1974.

Team Evolution

After half a century away from the world's major stages, Haiti's national team patiently rebuilt its football to reconnect with the international scene.

Great Managers

Sébastien Migné, the French head coach, now leads the Grenadiers and guided them to their historic return to the World Cup in 2026, more than fifty years after their only previous appearance.

Iconic Players

Emmanuel Sanon, scorer of the historic goal against Italy at the 1974 World Cup that ended goalkeeper Dino Zoff's shutout streak, remains the founding hero of Haitian football. Duckens Nazon, the national team's all-time top scorer, and Johny Placide, goalkeeper and current captain, now carry that legacy forward.

Major Achievements

Haiti pulled off a shock at their first-ever World Cup appearance in 1974, where Emmanuel Sanon ended Italian goalkeeper Dino Zoff's shutout streak. Qualifying for the 2026 World Cup more than fifty years after that first appearance, Haiti were eliminated in the group stage, with defeats to Scotland (0-1), Brazil (0-3), and Morocco (2-4).

The Team Today

Under Sébastien Migné, Haiti rank among the respected nations of the North American continent in the FIFA World Ranking.
